I created this thread as a way to notify the public that there's a FUCKING SEX OFFENDER at your community hacker space. I don't even want to deal with the issue any longer. If everyone there feels completely okay with someone who has sexually harassed multiple people in the space, then that's your problem not mine. What the fuck is wrong with most of you people? Honestly.

Pretty sure this is the opposite of what her complaint was about. This thread was about the issue between Lillian and Dru. Any topics other than this should be taken to another thread so that they can work on the topic at hand. Is that a hard thing to ask for on this discuss list? That things don't devolve into yet another quagmireĀabout what the space is or isn't? As crude as she put it that's what it seems her complaint was about. All you're doing is concentrating on the negative andĀcontinuing off topic. At the very least take it to 1-on-1 e-mails as, again, it's off topic.

You realize you've just proven Danny's point about you?

The fact that the building gets more respect than people who are sick of its classism is part of the problem too. Deal with the rapist. The issue would have happened either way, being that Dru fits the requirements most elites hold over the space, maybe not to who it did, but someone else people would have actually cared about.

As you know, Noisebridge is a do-acracy. Is there something that is stopping you from working on this problem? I and people I know have worked on several cases like this, which led to people being banned, and other spaces being warned of those people's behaviour. It's hard work, it puts you under suspicion of working under an agenda, and loses you friends.

You've been here a long time. You clearly make claims of wanting to work on social justice topics. Why have you, to my knowledge, never done this work?
Ā

At least completely and utterly erase any leftist ties this place claims, because like stalinism, this shit is too capitalist to be leftist.

We never had any leftist ties. We have a wide range of political opinions here, mostly more unorthodox, and the organization itself is apolitical.
 Maybe you can edit the wiki to better make that clear?
Ā
You can totally put that we're a classist, building-centric bunch of exclusionists. Frankly at this point it would really help. I will be honest here and say that, in sort of reversal of you, I have become so disillusioned by what I have seen by people in the space who adopt a specifically political stance of the world, that I am about done with it.

Ā

God this board is such a headache I dont want to talk to most of you, I am not in that headspace, just put this back on topic of DREW and Ill debate this other shit with others once I have the spoons

You've been hanging out in the space a *really* long time. I've never actually seen you work on a project. What is it that you expect from the space? What do you want to do?

 Here is what I think, brutally. I think you've spent a long time at Noisebridge, without finding out about what Noisebridge is. I think you hang about the space as a social environment without really contributing anything to its core work. I think your expectation that others will deal with problems that arise is part of the attitude that leads to others exploiting the space for their own ends.

I think you might find other spaces that are explicitly political, aimed at helping the homeless, or have an social justice aim.

As I said before, if you don't want to deal with a stupid science lab, you should go somewhere else. We're a stupid science lab.

Hey Kim,

You're right that it's important to make the stupid science lab safe for everyone. But, speaking personally, I can't do that *and* make it as a resource for homeless people or people who are just generally hanging out. It's too much. It takes a lot of time and energy to deal with the normal traumatastic drama that emerges from dealing with all the problems that hacker culture has, *and* deal with people who are trying to deal with a bunch of other societal issues, like poverty, homelessness and mental illness, *plus* the people who prey on open spaces and open communities in general.

It's a stupid science lab, but that's all it is meant to be. We had a science lab experiment trying to make it welcoming by just being open all the time so that anyone could come in at any time, but in the end that just end up excluding whole classes of people (including a lot of whiteboy hackers, but also hackers of every other kind), and constructing an atmosphere of entitlement with a bunch of people who aren't doing the stuff that the place is designed to encourage.

I'm burned out, because the place needs smart, enthusiastic, vaguely sane people to help things run smoothly, and a great deal of my time is dominated by the consequences of people who clutch hold of it for other reasons than it was designed for, and need to, frankly, sort their shit out somewhere else.

You've only just subscribe to nb-discuss, Kim, but you know that I've invested a lot of time social sysadminning trying to sort out problems among people and mediate solutions. I don't really often go off on one like this. But really, I have to draw the line somewhere.

So here's one the new lines I'm drawing for myself. If you think that this is a "stupid science lab", please leave.Ā Anyone who seriously says that for a moment is not welcome by me, anymore. You should go. There are other places you can go, less full of horrible science geeks. There are other places you can build yourself, that might be more welcoming.

We have a lot of problems, and we can't solve them all, and right now, we can't solve yours, particularly when you're actively scorning the very reason we wanted to share our space with you.

I'm sorry. Please go.

d.

Ā

The fact is, that making the space exclusive or anything of that sort would NOT solve this problem, the presence of predatory men and people there to defend them is, and no matter how you view the space, this needs to be dealt with, because as long as humans use noisebridge there will be this sorta shit.Ā

 Because its not a safe space. Its a hostile one, only safe for white men with houses or jobs. Until that changes, this shit will continue. The argument over the use of the space is merely an extension of this shit behavior.

Mammoth Mountain sends winter operating plan for June Mountain to forest service
On Sept. 27, the Inyo National Forest sent a "letter of non-compliance" to Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, putting the ski area on notice that leaving June Mountain closed indefinitely was not acceptable.
The letter gave MMSA until Oct. 15 to respond. This week, it did, said Jon Reggelbrugge, the district ranger for the Mammoth and Mono Lake districts.
"MMSA met the deadline and submitted an operating plan," he said. "We are reviewing that plan. We may request some changes as we have some questions about some aspects."
The plan is about 20 pages long, he said. There are no other deadlines as to how long the forest and MMSA can take to work out the details of the plan at this time, he said.
He added that the decision to send the letter of non-compliance is subject to appeal by MMSA, and an appeal has to be postmarked within 45 days of the date of the letter (Sept. 27).
So far, no appeal has been filed, he said.
Here is a list of the "corrective actions" the forest service required from MMSA in the letter it sent out:
Provide Forest Supervisor Ed Armenta with a list of actions and a schedule by which MMSA intends to analyze and plan for the sustainable future of June Mountain Ski Area.
Provide a 2012-2013 winter operating plan that identifies how MMSA will provide for public safety and ensure infrastructure, equipment, and supplies are secured and monitored. The plan has to address monitoring, avalanche control, signage, and emergency notification procedures.
By June 30, 2013, provide a summary report documenting MMSA's plan for sustainable operation of June Mountain.

Soft for hard rides.
Ideal for cooler temperatures, the Showers Pass Skyline Softshell Jacket is made from a three-layer softshell that's ideal for fall and spring riding. This fabric is both waterproof and highly breathable, so you'll be protected for anything from a drizzle to a downpour.
For crisp and cold seasonal rides, the Skyline is your ticket to warmth, as well as element protection. The softshell breathes well enough to prevent overheating when pushing over mountains. And because it's super stretchy, the Skyline doesn't restrict movement as you shift from the drops to dancing on the pedals.
While the Skyline's material selection provides an excellent range of motion and breathability, it also gets an added dose of ventilation for comfort during muggy afternoon heat. A full length front zipper, underarm zippers, and a flow-through vent at the back of the neck ensure that you won't have to pullover mid-ride to pull off the Skyline.
A drop down tail offers backside coverage from wheel-spray when the roads are damp, and reflective accents increase your visibility to motorists for low-light safety. The jacket also features three rear cargo pockets, a rear zippered security pocket, and a zippered chest pocket for plenty of storage of ride essentials.
The Showers Pass Skyline Softshell Jacket in four sizes from Small to X-Large and in the colors Black and Chili Pepper Red.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Possibly my favorite rain jacket ever.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've ran this jacket through just about everything. I actually trusted it to ride from Salt Lake city to St George Utah. (2 days over 200km). The first day was downpour the ENTIRE TIME. I was never even remotely wet. I'm a cat 1 on the road and I train TONS outside. In the winter I always run fenders on my cross or team bike so the back splash wasn't a huge issue for me, but seriously this jacket is great. Its fit is tight enough to race in, but I bumped up a size so I could layer a bit underneath. Katusha ran these jackets last year at La Primavera (Milan San Remo) and they were awesome then as well.
Flat out not right
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The previous reviewers were absolutely correct. It's a hard shell trying to be a soft shell. Whoever designed the cut must be a Martian - it just doesn't fit any human I know. I have broad shoulders, but the shoulders were baggy. Its very tight across the chest. The tail is at least 6" too short, and because of the bizarre cut it rides up constantly. Every ten minutes I had to pull it down to keep my butt from freezing. The pit zippers are so tiny I couldn't find them with a gloved hand. When I did unzip them the sides splayed out because of the super tight cut across the chest. Its like riding around with your car doors open.
Breathability was poor, but it is absolutely windproof, and quite warm for as light as it is. The one time I wore it the temperature never climbed above 30 F, and I was on shady roads. It was comfortably warm with only a long sleeve jersey underneath. Don't know how it would perform in wet weather, but because it really is a hard shell I'm sure it could handle heavy rain. Too many negatives, and there are much better jackets out there that are as warm.
Showers Pass Skyline Softshell Jacket
Expect better from Showers Pass
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Previous review is spot on. Good quality, well conceived, but poorly executed. For a company as experienced as SP, this jacket is disappointing. Fit is weird with tight chest and arms but billowy lower chest and abdomen. Too short in back and yes, what a strange collar! Way to loose. Overall, fit alone drops this jacket 2 stars.
Lock down zippers on the cuffs but NOT on the main zipper?!?! What are they thinking other than saving cost. Charge a few more dollars and put good quality zippers on the main body.
The membrane is moderately breathable, but not as good as windstopper. I would say it is more breathable than the Rapha softshell I had that cost much more.
The good. Well, the red looks great. I do like the two large pocket design on the back. The mesh liner is also well done. Chest pocket is great. The sleeves overall fit me well and are just the right length.
Too bad. Spend a bit more and stay away from this jacket until SP redesigns it.
Some serious design flaws
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
When I first got this jacket it looked the bomb. Nice styling, well thought out features (e.g. chest pocket, zipped rear pocket), good use of reflective material. However, after some weeks of riding, I'm pretty disappointed with it, because there are some relatively major design flaws.
First, the cut. Race cut, yes. But in a curious way. Some parts are tight, some are baggy. The material (more on this later!) has little stretch, so this restricts things. The top of the chest and elbows are tight, the lower chest baggy. It's too short at the back (seriously not good for a winter jacket!), the arms are too short. The zipped cuff is not ideal.But the neck is the biggest crime - I wear a Medium (me: 6ft, 160lbs, 39" chest) and the neck is not snug. No sir, far from it! I reckon you'd need to have an 18" neck for this to fit nicely. Big mistake - wind and water get in, it totally defeats the purpose of the jacket.
Second, the material. It's a softshell. Softshell in my book means you sacrifice a bit of weatherproofing for increased breathability, the point being that one jacket should cover a wide range of situations. The thing is... the material isn't that breathable and I get pretty clammy pretty quickly! The nicely designed pit zips help, but it's a serious issue. My hard-shell jacket (eVent) is more breathable, so why would I wear this over that? My mavic softshell (lighter weight) is more breathable, and has panels made of roubaix fabric, which massively help.
It's basically a mid-range hardshell disguised as a softshell, this isn't what I was looking for and I don't see the market for it. Very disappointed: it doesn't fulfil its promise. I've relegated it to commuting duties, where it can cope with most conditions reasonably well (the issue with the neck aside). But for faster paced riding, forget about it!

STILLPOINT Archive: last updated 05/02/2013
by John Dixon Mirisola '11
Trendy education can be brittle. It can break and rearrange beneath every step of modern progress. The real challenge, says Director of European Programs John Skillen, is to establish an educational model that can be applied over time. When he founded Gordon IN Orvieto in 1998, Skillen hoped the program's unique approach to learning in situ—rooted in context—would stand his own test.
And in fact, 15 years later, the program continues to offer an uncommon opportunity to set down roots. Students—mostly artists, writers and aesthetes—spend their months in Orvieto immersed in a different world. They worship in the Duomo even as they research its 14th-century façade design or sketch its Gothic windows. Unplugged from the whir of American college life, they become more than spectators of a bygone culture; they become heirs to the ongoing tradition.
Virgil wrote with Homer on his desk. Dante wrote with Virgil on his desk. Joyce wrote with the prior three all jostling for position in his spectacles.
"Innovation can only occur when we respond to what's come before us," says Skillen. "We are trying to reconnect a post-history generation to fabrics that have unraveled"—not in an attempt to recreate what's already been, but so they might pick up the thread and weave something powerfully new.

My story of the financial crisis and recovery might sound familiar to you.
According to the Federal Reserve, the net worth of Americans is now the highest in history. We have rebuilt much of the wealth that we lost during the recession. Our net worth -- the value of homes, stocks and other assets, minus debts -- was slightly above $70 trillion at the end of the first quarter of 2013.
While on paper we might have fully recovered, I remain shaken. Let me share my experience.
At the end of 2004, I retired at the age of 60 because I believed that I had a significant cushion. The lure of the warm weather of Sarasota was a strong inducement to forsake my New York business base.
In 2008, I received a rude wake-up call. First of all, the ability of Morgan Stanley to honor my pension had become questionable, given the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and the shotgun marriage of Bear Stearns to JP Morgan. Morgan Stanley was on the ropes! Only the Federal Reserve's massive intervention to stop the hemorrhaging of the financial industry saved that firm. among others.
Secondly, the value of my assets had dropped more than 40 percent.
Thirdly, bond rates on the 10-year treasury had dropped from above 6 percent in 2004 to close to 2 percent.
To summarize my predicament: In a worst-case scenario, by the end of 2008 my expected retirement income was less than one-third of the level that I had expected in 2004.
What was my comeback strategy? I decided to manage almost all of my remaining assets myself. My goal was to achieve a rate of return comparable to the S&P 500 but to select stocks that had a lower risk profile than the average equity. My selection criteria were relatively narrow.
I chose stocks that had these attributes:
U.S.-based multinationals. I wanted to own stocks about which I could glean anecdotal information, through personal use of their products, physical observation of their goods and services, and seeing media coverage of executives, products and earnings releases.
Market-leader companies in their industries. These firms had historically proven their ability to generate significant revenue by providing superior value-added products to a large number of customers.
Companies with positive earnings and cash flow. I worried about their ability to tap either the equity or bond markets, given our severe recession.
Companies that paid close to a 3 percent dividend and had showed a historical willingness and ability to increase their payouts.
Fast forward: My equities have appreciated similarly to the S&P 500, some 120 percent. My conservative strategy precluded some companies whose equities have risen far more than the market. I avoided GE at $5 because GE had cut its dividend and was experiencing severe problems in its financial unit. I did not purchase Apple at $100 because of the serious illness of their founder and CEO, Steve Jobs.
So why do I -- and perhaps a lot of other people -- still feel uneasy?
I am very uncomfortable with my risk allocation. Specifically, somebody my age should have at least 50 percent in fixed income. But with interest rates so low on investment-grade bonds, I have substituted stocks yielding at least 3 percent.
On an inflation-adjusted basis, my wealth is below the levels of 2004. Since then, costs have risen some 25 percent.
The Federal Reserve's stimulus program could reignite inflation. I cannot realistically earn returns after taxes that exceed a 5 percent annual inflation rate.
According to Social Security, I can expect to live another 15 years. So, in rodeo terms, I -- like many other Americans -- need to ride my investment horse a long time. If we are going to stay in the saddle, we need to remain vigilant.
History has repeatedly shown that turbulent markets can buck off even experienced cowboys.

I love it here. It's a small town and really not much to do on the weekends, but once you have that main group of friends it goes by so quickly. I enjoy the various activities they have almost everyday, which is where that activity fee comes from. Mainly people are in Pitt or WV, so you'll get to know people out there. Since I'm involved in a lot of clubs you get to know so many people on campus, who may know the surrounding areas and other fun places. The campus has a lot of hills, but that's where exercise comes in.Read More

Turkey: Acquittal in conscientious objection case a win for free speech

A Turkish court has acquitted four men on trial for their participation in a protest in support of a conscientious objector, prompting Amnesty International to call the ruling a victory for freedom of expression.
On Thursday the court in the north-western city of Eskisehir cleared human rights defender Halil Savda and three others of the charge of "alienating the public from military service", a criminal offence under Turkey's Penal Code.
The case against them began in 2011 after they protested outside the hearing of fellow conscientious objector Enver Aydemir a year earlier in what became known as the "everyone is born a baby" case a twist on the Turkish military slogan "every Turk is born a soldier".
"This acquittal should prove that every Turk is born with rights, including the right to freedom of expression," said John Dalhuisen, Director of Amnesty International's Europe and Central Asia Programme.
In acquitting the defendants, the court ruled that their protest and slogans were protected under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights and the Turkish Constitution, because they did not contain or incite violence, and that a democratic society must allow freedom of expression even if it shocks and disturbs.
Savda was also acquitted on Thursday in a separate, similar case where he was the sole defendant.
In February 2012, the human rights defender began serving a 100-day sentence after the Supreme Court of Appeals confirmed a previous separate conviction under the same article. He was granted a conditional early release in April due to amendments in the law on carrying out sentences.
Savda has another similar conviction that is currently pending at the Supreme Court of Appeals.
Over the last few years, Amnesty International has been campaigning for the Turkish authorities to end their prosecution of Savda and others facing convictions under Article 318 of the Penal Code which criminalizes "alienating the public from military service".
"Criminalizing the free speech of conscientious objectors and their supporters runs against Turkey's international obligations to uphold freedom of expression, and we continue to urge the Turkish authorities to abolish Article 318 once and for all," said Dalhuisen.

• Earflaps
Added Dec 1, 2012
by jeffrey
Colts Neck, New ...
This fall marked the beginning of my 4th year in New Jersey; I figured I should show some NJ pride so I bought this wonderful navy-blue wool baseball cap. Recently it became too cold to not have something covering my ears. Solution? Wool earflaps.
I used a pair of navy wool trousers that I bought at a thrift store for the wool. I braided yarn for the ties.
The flaps are stitched on in such a way to be easily removed next spring.
Material Notes
Wool and yarn.

So nice! A few years ago, I fell in love with this look when the Rays went to the World Series in 2008. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2008/10/br-r-r-aseball.html
Ear flaps are the best. You did a great job!

From what I hear its about 5.5 hours to Albq. And if its going to be any thing like the COS drive it should take us about 5 hours or less. Just some thoughts.... Greg
Well guys, I have to count myself out of this trip. Our washer took a digger and I had to divert funds from the trip to replace the washer. I really wish I could go and was looking forward to seeing you guys race and partake in all that is bar-b-que.
Oh yeah, Helmets!I used to have a spare, but now I don't. A motorcyle helmet is acceptable for this event.I'm getting really excited.... :onfire:
How about the Super 8 Motel- Rio Rancho ($41) 4100 Barbara Loop Rio Rancho, NM 87124 or the Le Baron Courtyard and Suites ($43) 2120 Menaul Blvd NE Albuquerque, NM 87107 Are they farther away than the others you listed? Or not listed because they are horrible Was just curious hehe Or the Inn at Paradise ? Golf anyone? Room rate there (at least listed on the website) is $59 a night for single occupancy.
In order to get breakfast before we go (both Saturday and Sunday), we'll be getting up early...
Amanda may have a radar detector to bring.
Quote from: "Rusty"In order to get breakfast before we go (both Saturday and Sunday), we'll be getting up early...The all-important FOOD POST:Here's what I've come up with so far for food:Friday evening - my place. I thought I'd cook burgers on the grill, or maybe chicken. Let me know your preference.Sat morning - Need to be at track by 7 AM, so breakfast at McDonalds (I40/Coors) at about 6:30 on the way to the track.Sat Lunch - at the track, there is nothing. We'll have to bring food or have someone go get something.Sat Evening - I thought after the track time, we could all go to Kelly's Brew Pub for a round or two of beer. The food is good, so we could eat there, too.Sun Morning - I'm gonna cook y'all a good Tennessee breakfast of bacon, sausage, eggs, biscuits, and GRAVY - yum... gonna start cookin' at about 7.Sun Lunch - the Oasis Cafe in Santa Fe - it will be the end of our mountain drive.If you have other ideas please post!

The chickenpox vaccine is not part of the UK NHS childhood vaccination programme. It is only used to protect people who are most at risk of serious complications from chickenpox infection.
The chickenpox vaccine is not part of the routine UK childhood vaccination programme because chickenpox is usually a mild illness, particularly in children.
There's also a worry that introducing chickenpox vaccination for all children could increase the risk of chickenpox and shingles in adults.
In adults, chickenpox tends to be more severe and the risk of complications increases with age.
If a childhood chickenpox vaccination programme was introduced, people would not catch chickenpox as children because the infection would no longer circulate in areas where the majority of children had been vaccinated.
This would leave unvaccinated children susceptible to contracting chickenpox as adults, when they are more likely to get a more serious infection, or in pregnancy, where there is a risk of the infection harming the baby.
We could also see a significant increase in cases of shingles in adults.
Being exposed to chickenpox as an adult – for example, through contact with infected children – boosts your immunity to shingles.
If you vaccinate children against chickenpox, you lose this natural boosting, so immunity in adults will drop and more shingles cases will occur.
The chickenpox vaccine is used to immunise people who may pass the infection on to someone who is at risk of serious complications from chickenpox.
The vaccine may be given on the NHS to:
In this way, the chickenpox vaccine protects people at risk who are unable to themselves be vaccinated against chickenpox, such as:

The South Brunswick Islands Committee of 100's first entrepreneurship conference didn't have people lining up outside the conference rooms, but organizers say the quality of the event will get people talking.
The event was April 10 and 11 at Sea Trail Conference Center in Sunset Beach and also featured a dinner at Silver Coast Winery.
"We had a moderate turnout," said the committee's executive director Bob Stinson.
"We look at it as a good start. The first one gets the word out about the quality of the event."

Fewer Americans than forecast filed first-time claims for unemployment benefits last week, which may reflect difficulty adjusting the data for seasonal swings at the start of a new quarter.
Applications for jobless benefits dropped 30,000 to 339,000 in the week ended Oct. 6, the fewest since February 2008, Labor Department figures showed today. Economists forecast 370,000 claims, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey. One state accounted for most of the plunge in claims, a Labor Department spokesman said as the data were issued to the press.
Waning dismissals may help clear the way for bigger hiring gains with any improvement in demand. At the same time, the global economy cooling and a lack of clarity on U.S. fiscal policy are hurdles for faster gains in employment.
The report "is consistent with a labor market that is gradually getting better," said Guy Berger, a U.S. economist at RBS Securities Inc. in Stamford, Connecticut, who had predicted a decline in claims. "Layoffs are at a low level and don't seem to be going anywhere. Hiring is still very muted."
Estimates for first-time claims ranged from 355,000 to 377,000 in the Bloomberg survey of 49 economists. The Labor Department revised the number of applications for the prior week up to 369,000 from a previously estimated 367,000.
Stock Futures
Stock futures extended gains after the report. The contract on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index maturing in December rose 0.5 percent to 1,433.50 at 8:37 a.m. in New York. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note climbed to 1.72 percent from 1.67 percent late yesterday.
Unadjusted claims typically surge at the start of a quarter as people receiving benefits reapply in order for the government to recertify their applications, the Labor Department spokesman said. The year's increase was smaller than projected, because one large state showed a drop rather than an increase, the spokesman said. The breakdown by state will show up in next week's report.
The U.S. trade deficit widened in August as exports dropped, a report from the Commerce Department also showed today. The gap grew 4.1 percent to $44.2 billion from $42.5 billion in July.
The four-week moving average for jobless claims, a less- volatile measure, fell to 364,000 from 375,500.

2014 LB Bryson Allen-Williams (6-2 220) of Ellenwood, GA has a top three of USC, Alabama and Florida with USC as his favorite. His offers include USC, Clemson, Alabama, Florida, Georgia Tech, Southern Cal, Tennessee, Indiana, West Virginia, Washington, Vanderbilt, North Carolina, NC State, Duke, Boise State and Missouri among others.
"I really like South Carolina because I've built a good relationship with coach (Lorenzo) Ward and coach (Kirk) Botkin," said Allen-Williams. "My mom really likes coach Ward and so do I. My first game there was when they played Georgia and the fans were awesome. They stayed engaged the entire game. It is my favorite visit."
Allen-Williams was at Clemson for the NC State game. "It's a really loud environment and the fan base is crazy," he said. "I really liked it there too."
Allen-Williams is set to announce August 9th and plans to see as many schools as possible prior to his announcement. "I want to make sure I pick the right school so I want to make sure I check to see what's out there," he said.
As a junior he recorded 99 tackles and 18 sacks.

When the fish processing plant workers in kuuddu were said to take week long leave every other week, with a half salary as a cost cutting measure, they had to strike to get the management to listen that they have also to share in the cost cutting measures. Each of the management person costs roughly 5 or 6 times the salary of an average line staff without their allowances and yet they did not feel like sacrificing a coin for others.
When the salary of the dhoni crews and captains failed to reach them at the end of the month, the staff had to resort to kidnapping themselves and their dhonis for the management of Dhoni Service to listen to them and grudgingly release their salaries.
In the recent Shangri la case, (which is comical in that its all about a playstation) the staff had to protest at dismissal of the four butlers which warranted in their own dismissal prompting further unrest but now the management is trying to distance itself from its earlier decisions. But one wonders, why does everything have to come to this bitter end? Why does even solvable simple problems become monster sized and waste so much of energy and money from each side? The answers probably lie in inaccurate judgment. Employers have to be more considerate about their staff and their welfare. Employees are also fellow human beings who have dependents on them for their earnings. We are all in this for a purpose. The purpose may not be the carefully concocted words of the "core values" of this company or that company. Those words mean nothing when the company has to defend itself from allegation of mistreatment to the workers etc. In such times of crisis, a higher set of morals take precedence over those core values which is all about Public Relations and damage limitations. Ultimately its all about lying their way out of the issue and failing to address the real cause of the problems in the first place.
Lying their way out of the problem.

Wow, the Foodbuzz Festival sounds like such fun and you are going! Great. Have fun and be sure to tell all when you return.
Of course you couldn't go without a camera. I know just how you feel about missing an old friend. There's so much to learn with a new camera.
Love frittatas. Yours is gorgeous with the sweet potatoes and very healthy too.

This may sound odd but if only I could be so lucky that my camera would "bite the dust" and I could head off to the store for a new one just in time for the festival. I look forward to meeting you there!!!!

You should rename your blog "The Weekend Cook".
My sage plant is almost dead, it's 38F today, so I can kiss it goodbye.
I wish my camera would die already, so I would be forced to upgrade!!!!!

Debby - Have a wonderful time in San Francisco. Sorry to hear about your old camera, but it sounds like you will be very happy with your new one. I never thought of mixing sweet potatoes with eggs, but it does look delicious!

- Frieda said...
Oh, I'm so sorry that your camera passed away! I'm sure you will have a budding relationship with your Canon in no time...I'm waiting for my Canon Poweshot to die, but it keeps plugging away for the past five years!
P.S. I've been eyeballing the Rebel, too and it looks great! I'm also hearing that a 50mm1.8 lens is the one to use for macro food shots, ~$99. Have fun!

I can see that you are passed the mourning of your past camera. You are now rocking with something new, shiny and better. Awesome.
Enjoy the Food Buzz event. You are going to have a great time.

- Carole said...
Oh, gosh, Debby--I'm just now catching up on my blogs. I knew from FB that you bought a new camera, but I didn't realize that your "old" one had died.
Hope you have a fantastic time this weekend. I'm sure you will.

I love all the cheese on this frittata!

- Monica H said...
Ilove sweet potatoes and will eat them anyway I can get them. The hubs? Not so much. If I make them, he'll eat them but he doesn't love them. He does like them bake with cinnamon and brown sugar though.
I like to eat them in a hash with sausage and runny eggs on top= so good!. I know he wouldn't eat this frittata so I'll just drool over your pics.
Can't wait to see you this weekend! Less than 2 days away!

CCS student programs face changes
Faced with uncertain funding options from state budget-makers, the Catawba County Schools Board of Education held a meeting Monday to discuss its choices for the 2011-12 budget.
The board talked about options for cutting back system expenses while preserving jobs, which forced them to consider changes to two educational programs for students.
Board members entertained the idea of moving the Green Room Academy of Drama (GRAD) program to Maiden High School's facilities to save costs on the magnet school for students interested in pursuing theater arts.
"It's sort of like a magnet school," said interim superintendent Glenn Barger.
The program was set to start during the 2011-12 school year through a partnership between CCS and the Green Room Community Theater and its new facility at the Old Post Office Playhouse in Newton.
To save costs, however, board members discussed moving the project to Maiden High School to better utilize the system's existing resources.
Sylvia Schnople, GRAD program director, collected about $11,000 in grant money for the program's costs. That amount, however, won't cover the $59,000 needed to fund one position in the GRAD program, as well as other costs for additional positions, renting fees, transportation costs and food needs for students.
CCS school board member Sherry Butler is the Green Room's executive director, and she supports moving the GRAD program to MHS.
"It's doesn't have anything to do with whether I believe in (the program), but everything to do with money," Butler said.
Several board members agreed that Maiden's auditorium facilities are among the best in the school system, making the location ideal for CCS students interested in pursuing careers in dramatic arts.
Butler said the Green Room already supports other CCS high school drama programs by lending costumes and props, and the GRAD program at MHS is no different.
MHS and Bunker Hill High School are two CCS schools who don't have a theater program at the school, and moving the GRAD program to MHS could fulfill the need for a theater program at MHS.
Transportation and food costs will be eliminated if the program is held at MHS, because students can eat in the school's cafeteria and rely on existing transportation outlets to travel to the school.
Butler said the MHS auditorium isn't being utilized to its fullest extent, and she hopes opening the school to the GRAD program will encourage students from other schools to use the facility.
Another system program facing changes is Catawba County Schools and Lenoir-Rhyne University's High School Scholar's Academy. The program allows high school students to get college credit at LRU while earning their highschool diploma.
This is the program's third year in existence, and CCS pays for 50 percent of costs associated with program for the system's 18 enrolled students.
LRU tuition for high school scholars costs $1,000 a semester, which means CCS is responsible for $1,000 a year for each participating student. Students' families pay for remaining costs.
CCS assumed 100 percent of costs associated with the program during its first year. This funding came from an anonymous donor who gave CCS money with no strings attached, Barger said. That money was used, and now CCS must determine the future of the program.
Board members entertained the idea of letting parents assume the tuition costs associated with student participation in the scholar's academy. As part of the proposed plan, CCS will continue to pay for the instructor who teaches part-time at Fred T. Foard High School and Lenoir-Rhyne University.
Currently, 18 CCS and two Hickory Public Schools students are in the
scholar's academy. The board also mentioned the possibility of asking HPS to assume costs associated with the program if the number of HPS students continues to increase.

Off to Hawaii and the South Pacific Aboard the Statendamby Rita M. Ippoliti, CruiseMates Assistant Editor | November 10, 2008
Many of us have gone on cruises, but few are fortunate enough to enjoy a true sea voyage. A photographic summary of the pure indulgance of a 35 day sailing onboard Holland America's m.s. Statendam.
Nothing is more exciting than embarkation day. Walking onto a ship you've never sailed. The anticipation of the good times ahead. That fluttery feeling you get in your stomach as you first step aboard. All of these feelings and more bombarded my senses as I boarded the m.s. Statendam for my long-awaited voyage to Hawaii and the islands of the South Pacific.
Nothing like that first sailaway. The unpacking has been completed. The cabin settled into. Lifeboat drill is out of the way. Now all there remains to do is relax and have fun. Despite the wind and the chill, everyone is on deck as the Statendam heaves her anchor and heads out to sea from Vancouver.
click on pictures below for larger images:
|A Windy Sailaway from the Aft Deck
|A Particularly Beautiful Sunset Leaving Vancouver
First up: Victoria, British Columbia. The ferry will get you there from Vancouver in a couple of hours, but it takes the Statendam a bit longer because of the route cruise ships have to take. But early the next morning we found ourselves docked in Victoria. What would a trip to Victoria be without a visit to Butchart Gardens?
click on pictures below for larger images:
|Entrance to Butchart Gardens
|Flowers in Every Imaginable Color Abound
|These Purple Blooms are Among my Favorites
After a full day at the Gardens, it was time to kick back and relax. A day at sea was up next, followed by a stop in San Francisco where we picked up more passengers, and sadly saw others disembark. Close friends Trish and Virgil boarded here and it was a sweet reunion.
Another day at sea, followed by a stop in San Diego to pick up still more passengers, and let others off who were only doing the coastal portion of the voyage.
Then it was a glorious four full days at sea, heading to the wonderful islands of Aloha! Our evenings were filled with events, such as the Captain's Welcome Aboard Ceremony and elaborate production shows in the Queens Lounge. The days were spent kicking back and relaxing.
A CruiseCritic/CriseMates Meet and Greet was held in the Crow's Nest where old friendships were renewed, while new ones were made.

Last time we looked at what you should be wearing if you wanted to ride your motorcycle in cold weather. No matter what tips below, dressing properly is the most important one. If you do not dress properly, all other winter riding tips are of no use.
Your motorcycle will also need to dress up warmly for a ride in cold weather. You will not need to worry about putting on warm blankets over your bike, but you will need to be careful that your poor ride does not get frostbite.
If you have a water-cooled motorcycle, just like with a car, you will need to put in antifreeze in the radiator. If not, you will have severe problems when you have stopped and the radiator cools down.
Read your motorcycle's maintenance manual how much, and which kind of antifreeze.
If you are riding on slicks or race tires, forget it. Just do not bother, you might just as well put on ice skates and go to a skating rink, since that is what you will be doing on your motorcycle. Make sure you have at the very least street tires fitted. Knobbies are much better, since they will bite into snow, but obviously studded tires are the best when you have got snow or ice. At the very least, normal street tires will offer better grip and reach operating temperatures much quicker than slicks.
The best oil to use during winter months is a thinner oil. They will improve performance, especially right after starting your bike. Get an oil that is made for winter, but do check your motorcycle manual which ones are recommended by the manufacturer, since not all companies allow a different oil type to be used.
When shopping for oil, make sure the viscosity grade has the letter "W" next to it (e.g. 20W or 30W). The "W" denotes Winter use (source).
Protecting Your Bike
When you say winter and snow, I say salt on the roads. In most parts of the world, when it starts snowing or freezing, salt is sprayed on the roads. It's great to ride, since the roads are far less slippery, but it does mean that you will get salt on your motorcycle, and that means corrosion. If you want to prevent this, spray some WD-40 oil on all the parts that are exposed to salt & slush, typically below your fairing, forks, engine and mudguards.
When you have finished your ride, wash off the salt from your bike. If you leave it on for the rest of the winter, chances are by spring you will find some rust spots.
It gets dark quickly, and even during daytime, it can get dark, so it's a very good idea to make sure that your lights are in good working order. Test them out before setting off.
Mirrors (and visor)
Because of big temperature differences, it is wise to spray an anti-fogging spray on your mirrors and helmet visor.
Check the water level of your battery. If it is lower than normal, you might have a leak, and during the winter, that is not a good thing. Top it up, but make sure you close the tops firmly.
If you will be riding with heated gear, make sure your alternator can handle it. Read your motorcycle manual to see how much wattage gets generated. If the sum of what is used by riding (lights and other components) plus your heated gear exceeds the wattage supplied, your battery will run out. On its own, this will not prevent you from riding, but you will not go a long distance, and you will need to recharge your battery when you are home again.
You will need to apply brake grease to your brakes, since sludge and salt will form around the brake pins.
Next, we will look at riding tips.

WAG Executive Director Heads East to Debate Art
Dr. Stephen Borys, Executive Director of the Winnipeg Art Gallery, is one of four Canadian arts leaders participating in the 4th Annual Walrus Debate at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa on Wednesday, May 2. Moderated by Carol Off, CBC radio host for As it Happens, the topic of the debate is "ART In Daily Life: Essential or Irrelevant? Who decides? Who pays? Who cares?" For the debate, Dr. Borys will team up with the Globe and Mail's Kate Taylor to square off against the National Gallery of Canada's Director and CEO Marc Mayer and art critic Sarah Milroy.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to have some fun with a topic about which I am very passionate," says Dr. Borys, who holds an Executive MBA, a PhD in Art History from McGill University, and an MA in Art and Architectural History from the University of Toronto. Dr. Borys, who serves on the Board of Directors of CAMDO (Canadian Art Museum Directors Organization), is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Winnipeg and a Scholar in Residence at the University of Manitoba. He adds, "It's great for Winnipeg and Manitoba to be represented at this national debate, with the other distinguished participants all residing in the East."
The proceeds from the event support writers and artists through the work of The Walrus Foundation. In appreciation of Dr. Borys' participation in the debate, the Walrus will donate $10,000 worth of advertising to the WAG, which will be invaluable to the Gallery's upcoming 100th anniversary celebrations launching this September. The Walrus was established in September of 2003, and has quickly become known for its witty commentary on Canada and its place in the world.
The debate also features the Walrus Soapbox, an interactive online platform that allows Canadians to engage in the debate and each other. This tool will help to inform the on-stage debate on May 2 at 7pm, which online viewers will be able to watch through a live webcast. To join The Walrus Soapbox, go to walrussoapbox.ca.
Celebrating its centenary from September 2012 to August 2013, the Winnipeg Art Gallery is Canada's oldest civic art gallery and Manitoba's leading visual arts institution. With a collection of over 25,000 objects spanning ten centuries—including the world's largest collection of contemporary Inuit art—the WAG constantly moves between the historical and the contemporary, engaging a growing public with the power of art in our lives.

The Theo Epstein Compensation Drama Continues – Red Sox Don't Want to Let Theo Take Personnel (UPDATE)
Today, the Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox have continued the delicate dance of determining just what one year of Theo Epstein's services are worth in terms of player talent. The Cubs would prefer to pay cash, the Red Sox would prefer prospects. Good ones.
But there's another wrinkle to the compensation discussions, which has been noted here before: Epstein wants to take some of his front office-mates with him to Chicago. The Red Sox, for obvious reasons, don't want him to (or, at least, want to use that request as additional leverage in the compensation talks).
Thus, talks continue to drag.
Negotiations continued Friday between the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs for Theo Epstein's services, with the Red Sox taking a hard-line stance that their outgoing general manager will not be able to take any of his top aides with him, according to a team source.
Some club officials have been told that Ben Cherington, as expected, will be general manager, assuming the Red Sox and Cubs come to an agreement on compensation for Epstein, said the team source.
Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts has given his player evaluators a list of prospects to decide if any should be made available in a compensation package, ESPNChicago.com's Bruce Levine reported Thursday.
The source told ESPNBoston.com Friday that he would not be surprised if negotiations continue until Tuesday.
That's the day before the World Series is scheduled to begin, and the commissioner's office prohibits any major personnel announcements from being made during the Series.
"I can't imagine that either team would want to go another 10 days [until after the World Series ends]," the source said. ESPN Boston.
In other words, both sides might be comfortable digging in for the weekend, knowing that (a) Epstein is going to Chicago, and (b) they have until Tuesday to figure out who is joining him and who is coming back the other way.
So, these "hurdles" might not be additional reasons to be concerned about the deal falling apart; just reasons to be annoyed that the deal isn't done yet (I want to celebrate fully, damn it).
For my part, I'm not terribly upset that the Cubs aren't giving in. There is a considerable difference between recognizing that Theo Epstein is "worth" a top five prospect (he is), and openly saying to the Sawx, "here, take our best." Assuming Theo is committed to coming to Chicago (and there's no risk that, as the process drags out, he'll change his mind – so far, we've not see any indication of that risk), there is no reason for the Cubs not to dig in their heels.
Don't forget: the Cubs are not without leverage here. The narrative in Boston is that Theo wants to leave and is being allowed to leave. That train has left the station, and the only alternative for Red Sox ownership is to shut down discussions, and somehow finagle a way to force Epstein to stay in Boston in a job he no longer wants to do.
Eventually, the two sides will come together, realizing each has plenty to lose by not getting a deal done, and they'll meet in the middle. The Cubs will pay some cash, send a prospect or two, and an employee or two will come along to Chicago with Theo.
Any other outcome would be insane.
UPDATE: For what it's worth, I'm listening to Red Sox Owner John Henry on the radio right now, and he said that he's "sad to see them [Terry Francona AND Theo Epstein] go." Soon after he sad, "What am I saying? I can't be talking about this." I'm not saying it's a lock that Theo to Chicago is a done deal, but … that's what he said.

SOURCE: Mentor Graphics Corporation
March 29, 2010 16:00 ET
WILSONVILLE, OR--(Marketwire - March 29, 2010) - Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT), a leader in high-performance system verification solutions, and Platform Computing, the leader in cluster, grid and cloud management software, today announced that they have successfully deployed Platform LSF to optimize the use of Veloce® emulation systems as shared resources. The implementation allows users to maximize utilization and increase emulation return on investment.
For companies that use Veloce emulators as a networked, shared resource, Platform LSF allows them to access multiple Veloce systems and partitions within individual systems without recompiling their designs. This approach is in contrast to other emulators where the design is locked to a specific user partition during compilation. In this scenario, even when a partition becomes 'free,' there is no flexibility to run a job on the 'free' partition without a full recompile of the design.
In addition, to further leverage Platform LSF and the optimization of Veloce emulation systems, the Veloce Testbench Express (TBX) capabilities can replace the fixed hardware setup of in-circuit emulation with interface transactors. The transaction-based implementation takes the Veloce system from being configured to a single design to a general purpose emulation resource capable of running any design.
Maximize Utilization with Platform LSF and Veloce
Platform LSF schedules jobs and establishes priority-based queues. Further, Platform LSF allocates the appropriate Veloce emulation resources to meet the specific verification needs and capacity requirements for verification jobs across multiple projects within a company. This scheduling maximizes the use of the Veloce systems, and is instrumental in supporting transaction-based accelerated verification environments.
To facilitate the optimized chip design and testing environment, both Mentor and Platform Computing added features to their products. The Veloce emulators now provide improved flexibility for multi-user access to available partitions without the need for compilation to a specific partition. Platform Computing added a knowledge base of the various Veloce family systems to be able to optimally queue up and allocate resources for verification jobs of different sizes across multiple projects.
"Our close collaboration with Mentor will empower our mutual customers in systems design and fabrication to maximize their resources and speed the time to market for the latest embedded chip technologies," said Peter Nichol, general manager, HPC Business Unit, Platform Computing. "The custom-designed Veloce verification platforms that have been integrated with Platform LSF as part of the joint solution ensure a solution that easily allows designers to work on multiple work-load-intensive projects faster."
"We worked closely with Platform Computing to leverage their expertise and create an environment that approaches 'cloud emulation,'" said Eric Selosse, vice president and general manager, Mentor Emulation Division. "Our customers find that with the infrastructure we now provide, the ROI for their emulation investment is maximized, and they can better address the challenges in verifying their complex SoC designs."
About the Veloce Platform
The Veloce platform is the industry's fastest transaction-based accelerator/emulator available, providing MHz performance for embedded software validation, transaction-based verification and traditional in-circuit emulation (ICE). Design and verification teams use Veloce systems as a reconfigurable representation of new system-on-chip designs. As a flexible hardware model of the design, the Veloce system is used to verify SoC hardware and software designs while both are still fluid and prototype chips have not yet been fabricated. With an extensive portfolio of vertical market solutions, the Veloce platform is the platform of choice for multimedia, networking, wireless, and embedded systems applications.

We do not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions), national origin, ancestry, age, disability, veteran status, marital status, sexual orientation, or any other condition protected by applicable law. Assembly also makes reasonable accommodations for the religious beliefs and practices or disabilities of applicants or employees (unless doing so would impose an undue hardship).
This non-discrimination policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment including recruitment, hiring, training, promotion, compensation, benefits, transfer, and social and recreational programs.
